1.) Wegen der Judenaktion als solcher soll der Angeklagte
nicht bestraft werden. Die Juden muessen vernichtet werden,

der Angeklagte haette sagen muessen, dass die Vernichtung der
Juden Aufgabe besonders hierfuer eingerichteter Kommandos
ist, soll ihm zugute gehalten werden, dass er sich befugt
gehalten haben mag, auch seinerseits an der Vernichtung
des Judentums teilzunehmen. Wirklicher Judenhass ist der
treibende Beweggrund fuer den Angeklagten gewesen. (...)
Nizkorite "translation":
1. The accused shall not be punished because of the actions against
the Jews as such. The Jews have to be exterminated and none of the
Jews that were killed is any great loss. Although the accused should
have recognized that the extermination of the Jews was the duty of
Kommandos which were set up especially for this purpose, he should
be excused for considering himself to have the authority to take
part in the extermination of Jewry himself. Real hatred of the Jews
was the driving motivation for the accused. In the process he let
himself be drawn into committing cruel actions in Alexandriya which
are unworthy of a German man and an SS-officer. These excesses cannot
be justified, either, as the accused would like to, as retaliation
for the pain that the Jews have caused the German people. (...)
Could anybody confirm the authenticity of this veredict and give a better translation?
